Strengths
- “Waterloo Primary School is a richly diverse and welcoming school.”
- “Pupils are proud of their school and feel a genuine sense of belonging, whatever their culture, religion or background.”
- “Pupils welcome those new to the school quickly, and staff make sure that they feel supported from the start.”
To improve
- “However, overall, too few pupils achieve as well as they could, particularly in writing, where gaps in knowledge are not closing quickly enough.”
- “They are working to make sure that staff teach new knowledge more consistently across the school.”
- “The school's challenging context, including high mobility, means that published outcomes have not yet caught up with the quality of the curriculum and teaching.”
